Katona tours, Jackie in particular, has helped me to secure 17 gorilla passes for Volcano park in Rwanda. He has also sent scanned copies of these permits to me. My group members enjoy the trek exercise. This company is excellent and highly recommended.

This is an amazing safari company that has offered a lot to us. We booked a five-day tour to see gorillas in Bwindi forest, a wild life safari in Queen Elizabeth park and chimpanzees in Kyambura Lodge.

Being students and solo travelers, we spent five nights at Africa treasure home after the tour, a bed and breakfast facility located in Bukoto and operated by Ja...

We highly recommend the excellent services of Katona tours. Tara and I ended up organizing transportation in a land cruiser and a safari guide with them. Initially we booked 10 days tour in Uganda with another agency that was pricey so we let them reserve our lodges and permits only. The rest was organised by Katona and we managed to save 424 US$ altogether.

We would book with Katona Tours again in a heartbeat. Obtaining permits for gorilla trekking in August is difficult in a normal year. However, on June 1st 2012 the price of permits was increased by $250 per person, so there was tremendous demand. While we were told by several reputable companies in the U.S. that permits were sold out, Jackie, the office manager, at...

I will recommend Katona without hesitation. The three of us were afraid that the seven-day gorilla safari would not live up to our expectation hence the hesitancy in wiring the 30% deposit fee for gorilla permits, but in the end we are glad we chose to travel with Katona tours.

We enjoyed the entire tour tremendously, both Jacquelyn and Alex the guide were outst...
